When are these guys going to figure out they no longer are in the air force and are now just a number......
Interesting perspective, but realize you are a grizzled airline travel veteran. Many people who don't fly often appreciate this kind of info.
I flew with a Capt who did something similar, and about half the people made positive comments after they got off the 5 hour flight. Many of them thanked us for our service. Others appreciated the humor. Nobody had a negative comment (guess you weren't on the flight.)
Yea, they may have gone over the top, but I nominate you for TOTD, especially for bringing this up ... On Memorial Day weekend!
